Stitch in time till half past nine
In the street just next to mine
So she was tired, was tired
So she will dine at half past nine
With her parents seated by the clothes and wines
Beside the clothes and wines

She couldn't tell them why she'd stayed away
Why she'd stayed away all night
So she had lied, she had lied

People there were kind and well-fed signs
Say the government provides for your new child
Yes, the government provides
Oh, they'll provide
